Testo bringing the smarts to the AC/R world

The air conditioning and refrigeration sector, also commonly known by the acronym AC/R, is one that’s understandably crucial in Australia.

Every summer, temperatures across the country tend to soar. In fact, in the southern capital cities, the average summer temperature tends to hover around 26 degrees. In the middle of the country, temperatures can reach 32 degrees or even higher.

With AC/R in place, however, businesses can continue to function without succumbing to the effects of high temperatures. But what solutions are available to ensure that these systems are maintained correctly?

The digital manifold kit options

When it comes to the maintenance of AC/R systems, digital manifold kits are key. These make analysis and documentation easy, thanks to the inclusion of probes for testing purposes as well as clear, legible displays. Digital manifold kits from testo also feature Bluetooth and app integration to further add to the suit of features.

App integration provides useful capabilities, such as the ability to download new refrigerants from the internet. When required, users can also utilise additional probes. These make it possible to measure evaporate and condensate temperatures in real time, for example.

The testo 550

This is a kit capable of displaying superheat and sub-cooling for up to 60 refrigerants. It’s also able to measure high and low side pressures and temperatures. This kit has a 2-way valve block with three connections.

The testo 557

The testo 557 can measure high side and low side pressures and temperatures, and features a 4-way valve block with 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch ports.

Relaunching a proven product

On April 12, testo will be relaunching the testo 552. It’s an instrument that offers necessary functionality – and this relaunch will ensure it continues to prove a useful option for professionals.

The testo 550 and 557 are some of the most capable digital manifold kits available, offering the features and accuracy professionals expect. But, testo is always pushing the envelope. This year, at ARBS 2016, we’ll be launching a new range of products with new features and capabilities.
